I wish he had a bigger name so I could give his introduction a dramatic feel. But this guy has a lot more to him than just his name. Born on 18th May, he falls into the category of those Tauruses that make a name for themselves. They do it without any favors from anyone. Destined to achieve all leaps and bounds in their way and be additionally creative in their lives. His name does justice to the zodiac as he has done everything he could possibly make a name in.
Ali Zafar, the famous singer from Lahore. Not only a singer but a model (a painfully sexy one may I add), an actor, musician, song writer, director and, not that it was needed, but a painter as well.

He rose to fame with his song ‘Channo’ from his debut album ‘Huqa Pani’. Those were the days, when the song’s official video wouldn’t get taken off any music channel we switched to on our televisions. And we actually switched to see if the song was on again. The hit song sold over five million copies internationally! Ali Zafar was meant for it. Touching hearts across borders with just his first step, we knew he would achieve heights.

And he did! He also made a mark in his acting career by landing a role in the Bollywoodmovie ‘Tere Bin Laden‘. He had the looks, he had the voice and he could do those expressions really well. We could tell by his choice of making a story in his music videos and acting in them. And that caught everyone’s attention.

Here is a list of few fun facts about our, yes, our very own Ali Zafar.
